Progress Billing

The Progress Billing Report helps determine when to send the subsequent invoice to customers. The report is based on the dates set for each progressive payment due date as defined on the Sales Order > Billing tab.

• Sales Order is the number and name of the sales order where the payment is specified
• Rep is the name of the salesperson assigned to the sales order
• Description is the description of the progress payment as entered on the sales order
• % this represents the percentage of the entire sales order that is scheduled to be invoiced
• Amount is the amount of the progress payment scheduled to be invoiced
• Due is the due date for the progress payment. A date printed in red means that the due date for this invoice has passed.
• Amt. Invoiced will be filled if an invoice was created.
